Did i hear right that they have stopped maufacturing 5.38's for the 12 Bolt rear??

yeah there are maybe 30 sets left. Matt at indy4x (TrooperRS) has em.

 

[jrraw23]

So i guess they just decided to stop makin em all together, why just cause they weren't makin enough $$ from em?

I think you are a bit confused. They did not "stop making them" as there was only one production run.

They have sold almost all of that production run and have no intention of doing another. If you need them, I suggest you buy them.

Yea i just bought a set, didn't realize it was just one production run, I guess there's not enough demand for em to keep makin em.

 

[Indyguy]

Enough demand to keep making them... hell, there was barely enough demand for us to convince them to make'm in the first place:shaking:

well i guess lsuzu folks are just gonna be out of luck, that sucks man, might order another set of gears now incase the rear end does eventually blow I won't be screwed and have to get a whole nother axle since they won't have any more 5.38's

 

[16384]

what are you putting the zu axle in?

 

[jrraw23]

My little bro's XJ got a Waggy Driver Drop front 6 lug to compliment it.

Just to be clear....when you Say "they" that means Me

i have purchased all the remaining new stock of 5.38's for the isuzu 12 bolt. i do have a number of sets left, but they are selling well in the SAS market for Isuzu's.

I have not decided to totally abandon the idea of future gear runs.... If I decide to run gears again it may be with a different Mfg.

Obvious issues with something like tis are LOW production numbers, recent increases in Materials (steel), and increases in shipping costs. BASICALLY, it would be hard to make them again and seel them as cheap as i am now.


so, not totally dead.........

Cool man, you gotta do what you gotta do, didn't realize you had em made, figured it was just another gear choice just like any other, this is my first time to break into anything Isuzu
